Reading list, full text follows: Read this spring: Worthy of the Event by Vivian Blaxell Trans Technologies by Oliver Haimson Rainbow Trap by Kevin Guyan In progress: Who's Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler Artificial Power: 2025 Landscape Report by AI Now Institute To be read: Work without the worker: labour in the age of platform capitalism by Phil Jones None of the Above: Reflections on Life Beyond the Binary by Travis Alabanza Rage Inside the Machine: The Prejudice of Algorithms, and How to Stop the Internet Making Bigots of Us All by Robert Elliott Smith
Excerpt from Oliver Haimson's 2025 book "Trans Technologies" discussing the idea of ambivalence: Ambivalence, as feminist theorist Clare Hemmings (2018) describes, enables us to embrace complexities and contradictions in research about gender, sexuality, and race: “In imagining that we know how to ameliorate gendered, racial, and sexual inequalities, or indeed what gender, race, and sexuality are, it is easy to miss the profound ambivalence about these terms and the inequalities or pleasures that cluster around them.” In research about gender and technology there is never only one truth, and imagining a simple orientation toward these phenomena flattens people’s experiences. Hemmings (2018) argues that ambivalence is “fundamental to both the pre-sent and the past” and that researchers must embrace uncertainty and resist the urge to resolve paradoxes. Instead, as we move toward understanding inequalities, we must let go of certainty and singularity.
